Zealand’s Legacy: A Shop Dog’s Heartfelt Impact

Zealand wasn’t just Ian’s closest companion—he was the heart of Drifters. Every beach setup, every delivery, Zealand was there, adding a special warmth that customers loved. His presence wasn’t just about loyalty, it was about creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone, a reminder of the joy that comes with the adventure.

Today, Gunny carries that torch, offering the same friendly presence that makes the Drifters experience special for customers—just as Zealand did before him.

“Great experience with Drifters. All beach equipment was high quality and extra clean. Communication was great. We rented 4 chairs, a cabana, a cart and a children's kit. The equipment was delivered and picked up directly from our apartment. Very good experience.”

“Drifters is the best! My wife and I vacationed to St. Augustine for a few days and loved our one day rental of the Beach Cruisers. The free delivery and pick up of the bikes to and from our AirBnB made things so easy. Great job with communicating as well!”

Highly recommend DRIFTERS to anyone looking for a quick and easy bike rental while vacationing in the St. Augustine area! They were able to fit me into there schedule last minute and bring me my rental in the time I selected even with the late notice. They deliver for free to you and pick up as well which is really convenient. Great communication throughout the whole process as well.

We had a large group visit us in St. Augustine at our home and Ian at Drifters had the bikes delivered on time and with ease! The group was blown away with how fun it was to have the bikes available and see the town this way instead of waiting in traffic. We will totally be doing this again, I highly recommend. The bikes are stylish, comfortable, and in good shape. Thanks again!

Drifters was phenomenal in making sure we had our umbrella/chairs setup each morning. Regular text communication to advise if there would be a delay due to the high tide and even giving us back the delayed time on the back end of the day to ensure we got what we paid for. Not having to battle an umbrella like we typically do took major frustration out of our vacation; that alone made it worth the money.

Ian is a total pro and has created the ultimate beach rental company with DRIFTERS.  Researched a few options but was a no brainer to rent bikes from them. He and his crew provided delivery/pickup and also safe biking routes from our house. Loved riding the custom blue bike around town and seeing other DRIFTERS bikes along the way. As my friend Jaime said on our first ride, "I am smiling from ear to ear on this bike!"
